Manchester United midfielder Paul Tierney has joined Bradford on loan for the rest of the season.

Tierney, who spent a month on loan at Colchester at the start of the year, is Colin Todd's second capture this week following the permanent signing of winger Owen Morrison.

Todd told the club's official website: "Paul is another valuable acquisition who will be available for the rest of the season.

"He comes with a fine pedigree and has a good left foot. Signing him puts more competition on places and we look forward to him being part of a squad to keep pushing for a play-off place in the league."
